    摘要: A data processing system (48) program to develop, train, and implement a neural network for identifying customers who represent a bad debt risk is disclosed. A feature vector is applied to a neural network to generate outputs that approximate the relative likelihood that customers who are the subjects of the records used to generate the feature vector will be a bad debt risk. Statistical values (58) relating categorical attributes (50) of the customers to the likehood of their becoming a bad debt risk are substituted for the categorical attributes (50), and the attributes are normalized before the feature vector is applied to the network. In one embodiment the customers are customers of a long distance service provider.

    摘要: An approach for providing content transmission upon placement of a call on hold is disclosed. A data communications system (100) includes a proxy server (109) that is configured to receive a message from a first client (101) indicating the hold condition of a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) call with a second client (103). The system also includes a content server (107) (e.g., music server) that is configured to transmit the content stored therein to the second client in response to a request message from the server.

    摘要: An approach for providing voice processing over a packet switched network (113) is disclosed. A communication system (100) includes a special forking proxy server (109) that receives a message for establishing a session between a calling user agent (101)and a called user agent (103). The message has a first payload corresponding to a first call leg. The system also includes a bridging user agent (107) that communicates with the first network element and generates a response that contains the first payload and a second payload that corresponds to a second call leg. The bridging user agent (107) is configured to bridge the first call leg and the second call leg to establish a session between the calling user agent (101) and the called user agent (103). The special forking proxy server (109) is configured to fork an acknowledgement message from the calling party to acknowledge the session establishment by the called user agent. The present invention has particular applicability to SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) IP (Internet Protocol) telephony services.

    摘要: An approach for supporting settlement of network usage associated with multiple network service providers is disclosed. A settlement system (301) includes a processor that determines a settlement agreement among the network service providers. The settlement agreement specifies rate information associated with traffic exchange among the corresponding networks of the network service providers. A traffic monitor (307) measures source traffic statistics, which is stored in a settlement database (309). Additionally, the settlement database (309) stores the settlement agreement. The processor computes settlement information based upon the stored traffic statistics; the settlement information includes usage cost differential information for reconciliation of network usage among the various networks.

    摘要: A system for monitoring a plurality of telephone calls made to and originating from a common branch exchange to detect fraudulent activity, including receiving means (300) for receiving a call detail record (CDR) corresponding to each of the calls and directing the CDR to be stored in at least one queue means (310), the CDR containing at least a billing number associated with each call; means for retrieving (320) current CDRs, one at a time, from the queue means (310); processor means for comparing (320), for the current CDR, the billing number with billing numbers of previously stored CDRs in a fraud database (330); means for storing (320) the current CDRs in the fraud database (330); and means for generating an alert (230) when the billing number of the current CDR matches a billing number of a previously stored CDR in the fraud database.

    摘要: A method and system (11) for providing quality of service in an IP telephony session between a calling party (21) and a called party (23) establishes a high quality of service ATM virtual circuit for the session between first and second devices (25, 27), each of the devices (25, 27) having ATM capability and IP capability. The first and second devices (25, 27) provide bidirectional translation between IP media and ATM media. The system (11) transports IP media for the session between the calling party (21) and the first device (25), and between said called party (23) and a second device (27). The virtual circuit transports ATM media for the session between the first and second devices (25, 27). An intelligent control layer (13) provides IP and ATM signaling to set up the session.
